Disappointed by per-minute pricing and the risks of sending HIPAA data to public APIs, StratusTalk decided to build their own AI receptionist. By embedding the agent directly into their Asterisk/FreePBX offering, they gave it the same tools a human receptionist uses: call transfers, intercom, outbound dialing, and more.

Reducing conversation latency was a major challenge. In this talk, Jeff will walk you through their design decisions, their Kubernetes-based solution, and show you live demos of it in action.
